Here is a video of this beautiful song in hamasanadi raaga by Ranjani Gayathri sisters in margazhi utsavam 2008. No doubt Hamsanandi is such a beautiful raaga which attracts people who don't have even an iota of carnatic music knowledge. great song ! great performance by the sisters.



Hear the audio of 'sreenivasa thiruvenkata' set on hamsanandi raaga by T.V.Sankaranarayanan.



Meaning:
Oh, Lord, one who wipes out the sins left over (from life), oh extensive (omnipresent) one, May I (Let me) watch your coral mouth, while being the steps at the entrance of your temple, traversed by (your) devotees, celestial gods and celestial goddesses,

Oh, Srinivasa (Dwelling place of Lakshmi), lord of auscpicious Venkatam, Victory to you, Oh Govinda (friend of cows), Oh, mukunda (liberator), Oh Endless One.

You earned the fame as the refuge of the meek, where have you seen one more meek than me?

Oh, lord of the seven hills, one who is praised by the whole universe, Illusory one,

Oh, husband of AlarmElmangai

Oh, lord of the Universe, wielder of the wheel and the conch

I seek the refuge of your feet, free me from fear!
